# Property developers headquartered in California

Tamtam tracks 58 property developers headquartered in California. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Prologis, Irvine Company and KB Home. Their median headcount is 322. Half of them were founded in 1986 or later. The most common headquarters are San Francisco (6), Los Angeles (5) and Irvine (4).

These California companies are primarily involved in real estate development, investment, and management, with a strong focus on residential properties. The firms range from large, established groups like Prologis, a global leader in logistics real estate, and Irvine Company, which develops sustainable neighborhoods, to companies specializing in personalized homebuilding such as KB Home. Many also manage multifamily housing, like Essex Property Trust and Fairfield Residential.

A notable pattern among these companies is their geographic concentration, with a significant number of headquarters located in Southern California cities like Los Angeles, Newport Beach, and San Diego. Several companies, including CIM Group and Lowe, also engage in broader real estate activities encompassing commercial and infrastructure projects.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
